Contemporary Porter House by SKB

This house would define it as contemporary and chic, is a house in detail in the architecture and the decor that I like, some more than others. Although generally it is not my ideal home, both at architecture as interior , I like to see new models of houses, there is always inspiring to target any notes. This is Porter’s residence designed by SKB Architects, and located on Lake Washington in Seattle, USA. For the design and construction of this housing was considered among the main objectives of the project, made to maximize the relationship of the house toward the lake, through sectioning and exploit massively, and creating an open plan around a space central living, which allows a visual connection to the space adjacent, while maintaining intimate scales defined within. In addition to complement the place, and at the same time provide a balance between the structure of the house and the beautiful surrounding landscape, the main main living spaces were lowered 4 feet (1.20 meters) above the lake, thereby getting a higher profile low. From the street, the input stream descends toward the door of the front, where the views through the house to reveal the lake beyond. Apparently the same level. The greatest concentration of areas of the house is centered in the west to maximize and optimize the use of natural light, and create both two courtyards, one on the side of the public entrance and another in the closed part of the shore the lake. The highest volume of housing is used to carry the intimacy of life outdoors on the shore of the lake, coats of joint ownership.
